Or you can. Disassemble the thing and take the cables out. I did. Works just fine.

Thats coolant dripping in front of your rear tire.... coolant is very slippery, hence having to get rid of coolant on most tracks and convert to something else. I wasn't willing to chance it, I parked it until it was fixed. For me to ride, the bike has to be able to pass tech at any track. Even if I'm just putting down the street any leaks anything wrong is a no go for me. I won't chance it.
They said the coolant leaking from the weep hole in the oil pan is because you moved a rad hose during the header install???
Total utter BS...
It's a failed o ring in the water/oil pump inside the oil pan. Not common but it happens. Happen to me 2x. Once was coolant once was oil.. nothing to do with moving a hose..

To properly exchange or fill the coolant on our bikes the vacuum method is preferred if not required. There is no such thing as burping a system through a weep hole. Shameful someone said that.
His dealer is dodging it. Mine was reluctant the first time and almost argumentative the second, when the oil AFTER the first time they replaced the pump the oil was milky I knew I was in for a fight. I Changed the oil 50 miles after they swapped the water/oil pump -they did an oil change during that service- my change cleared the oil up. My only concern for longevity was the treatment of the internals and if the cross contamination would reduce its effect. Did some research didn't find anything conclusive on the issue. If anyone has insight I'll take it.
The first time I had to wait for the parts the second time also. But when they arrived, I got a chance to see it, the failed seal, see exactly why and what... I do most, if not all of the work to my bike. I'll use the dealer for warranty but everything else i do. So seeing the failure point and part was important to me.
The last time I had it to the dealer I confirmed with them that leaving my arrow headers on will not impact the service. Quite the opposite with headers the job goes from around 8 hrs flat rate-can be done in about 6- to being accomplished in 3 or so. Just pop the springs and blamo the exhaust is out of the way of the oil pan. No need to pull the headers off the engine.
I wish the op luck. Sounds like a dealer I'd avoid.

Loosing the rear end if it pukes coolant at the wrong time. Making someone else wad up thier bike because you're dripping coolant. Ect... those are worst case.. 2nd worst is cross contamination and some sort of problem internally. But you'd see milky coolant.
Coolant will dry up, but not something I'd wait for a total failure on. Mine went from coolant leaking to oil dripping. Leaving spots on my driveway. Especially when it was on a rear stand.
Sucks man. Welcome to the leaking weep hole club.Just noticed mine has the same (or similar issue). Couple days ago I noticed my gym flooring where I park the bike had a couple bubbled spots, the size of a drop of water. Had a closer look just then and there's a bit of thick black muck (presumably oil) on the very corner near the stand. No coolant as far as I can tell.
Currently just over 700km. Was going to take it in for the 1000km in a couple weeks. Might have to take this in sooner... what an inconvenience
Engine oil glass doesn't appear to be abnormal unless I'm missing something.

Sucks man. Keep an eye on the oil after. Note the color before and then after to see if the color changes.
Sucks man. Warranty??
Damn. 3months. What a PITA. Sorry for the trouble man.
